Edit: Anyway, this game cannot be cannon... Didn't Artyom died at the end of Last Light?! :)

He certainly did in my playthrough; though I took it to mean that I couldn't gather enough 'karma' (or whatever) to get the best ending. I've heard (where? how? no idea) that in the most bestest optimal ending there's a hint that he may have survived the final onslaught.

Quoting: MalHonestly, from Valve, why even bother? They won't change business model just because of Epic. They know that it doesn't work in the long run. Gabe might just sit quietly and wait The Pirate Bay to does its job.

Which is a shame because a healthy competitor that forces Valve to raise the quality of its ecosystem is very much needed.

Quoting: TobyGornowJust want to add that you were forced to create a Steam account in order to play CS and Half-life when you bought the Orange Box. For me Epic is just giving Valve a taste of his own medicine.
How pissed I was at the time but little by little, I was buying less physical copy from my brick & mortar retailer (Bankrupt today) and now I have more than 400 titles in my library just because it was cheaper. Did I do that alone ? Don't think so...

It's evolution of the market, maybe Valve has been too greedy, the new player is strong and full of arguments, who will survive ?

Quoting: rat2000Yes well the internet has a memory span of a couple of hours, when the game is out the very people that wrote there will install the launcher and buy the game... not all of them, but enough of them for deep silver to still earn enough profit to sleep with Epic again...

Before taking that as granted, I would like to see Steam's sales figure for this game. The damage might already be done. I can't say for sure, but add to this some form of boycott and Epic might not break even in this deal. Deep Silver might even come to the realization that the game sold much better on Steam.

Time will tell...

They will buy it. They dont have the "Willpower" to withstand it.

You don't get my point. If they bought it on Steam, they won't buy it on Epic. I just don't know the proportion. And if a quarter of the users that claim they won't buy it stand to their claims (just like on your pic) it's another blow.

Edit: By the way, the group on your pic has 31 pages. Taking the first page is not a significative sample, imo.

Just in case you didnt notice i did not made that Picture. Just google modern warfare 2 boycott and there are tons of those Pictures. I just used it to show that even when ppl say "i wont buy it" they will buy it. The same thing is with EA all say EA is so bad and their games are bad but they still sell like hot cakes.

Quoting: rat2000Why is everyone bashing only Epic? The Metro publisher are as bad as epic... And honestly I am shocked that all the comments bash Epic only(with very very few exceptions for 1 or 2 people) and Deep Silver gets a pass.. they are BOTH as bad but Deep Silver in the end is the one that did not think about their loyal customers who bought the earlier titles on steam and now are left with jacksh**.

I can only hope that as a community(of steam users not linux users) we can restrain ourself from buying the game on epic but we all know we will fail miserable on this...

Quoting: eldakingAll the while, Epic is trying to "compete" in the least competitive way possible - by removing consumer choice and using its resources to push publishers/developers into exclusive deals where they can't sell their products anywhere else.

No one, including Epic, has ever claimed these moves were better for the customer. No, this looks like the worst kind of "competition," where the business plan is to "dump" product at a probable loss to undersell the market leader into extinction and then do whatever you want with the monopoly you end up building...

Quoting: BeamboomTotally unrelated but:
Seeing screenshots like that, and then looking over at screenshots of our indie games... And... Yeah, well...

You can always distinguish a AAA game screenshot from an indie one by the fact that you can never find that AAA game screenshot in the actual game.
